The concerns about the possible risk of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) have been raised recently. Nano- and micro-sized copper oxide (CO and CONP) are widely used in many industries. In this regard, in-vitro studies have demonstrated that CONP is a toxic compound in different cell lines. Despite their unique properties, NPs possess unexpected toxicity profiling relative to the bulk m...

yersinia enterocolitica is rapidly emerging worldwide as an enteric pathogen and has become a major cause of diarrhea even in developed countries. the aim of this study was to characterize and genetic diversity analysis among y. enterocolitica strains isolated from fish and chicken sources.from 44 strains, 55% (24 strains) found to be positive for y. enterocolitica by colony morphology, biochem...

Background/Aims: The skeleton is a metabolically active organ undergoing continuous remodelling initiated by mesenchymal progenitors present in bone and marrow. Under certain pathological conditions this balance shifts towards increased resorption resulting weaker microarchitecture, there consequently therapeutic need to identify pathways that could inversely enhance formation from stem cells. ...

Many protein and mRNA species occur at low molecular counts within cells, and hence are subject to large stochastic fluctuations in copy numbers over time. Development of computationally tractable frameworks for modelling stochastic fluctuations in population counts is essential to understand how noise at the cellular level affects biological function and phenotype. We show that stochastic hybr...

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive compound of cannabis plant and an exogenous ligand endocannabinoid system. In previous studies, we demonstrated that a single microdose THC (0.002 mg/kg, 3–4 orders magnitude lower than standard dose for rodents) exerts distinct, long-term neuroprotection in model mice subjected to acute neurological insults. When administered old, ...

Seed reserve mobilization is considered a post-germination process; however, seed storage protein occurs during germination. Thus, the knowledge of composition important to understand various processes germination, and it be associated with vigor. Therefore, this study aimed characterize landrace genotypes common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) through fractionation proteins germination verify associ...

Abstract: Storage reserves composition is directly related to the manifestation of seed vigor. However, physiological potential expression in inbred lines, as well hybrids from storage hydrolysis, not clear. Thus, aim this study was focused on verifying if there are differences hydrolysis reserve maize lines or during germination, and also checking changes associated with The seeds were submitt...

The biochemical compounds in kenaf leaves and flowers mainly consist of flavonoids, including flavonoid glycosides floral anthocyanins. In the present study, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA-sequencing identified putative genes involved flower coloration different developmental stages three mutants Baekma (white flower), Jangdae (ivory Bora (purple flower). A total 36.1...

In this study 50 samples of ecstasy tablets seized in Iran during the period of 2007 through 2008 were examined and their physical characteristics (appearance, marking, scored/not scored, color, weight, diameter, thickness) were determined. In order to determine the chemical characteristics of these tablets, color tests (Marquis test, Simon’s test, Chen’s test and Gallic acid test), Thin Layer ...
